Hello All i hope you and your family all doing well in these darks time of COVID-19
Please be safe and stay bless until it is over.
OK so here is my issue and please forgive my poor English writing skills and grammar
I live in a small Studio APT basement unit and I was using the COX Communications Unit everything is fine except i been renting it for the past 2 years and fees add up so I decide to buy my own.
1- I bought from amazon ARRIS SURFboard SB8200 DOCSIS 3.1 Gigabit Cable Modem
2- Friend of mine give me a Router for free it is NetGear D6200 – WiFi DSL Modem Router.
after play with for 2 days i was able to downgrade it to firmware D6200_V1.1.00.05-1.00.05NA and after complete reboot, it worked like a charm
Issue:
my 2G and 5G wifi keeps dropping and i lose network connections on a daily basis
The wired network seems to be solid and no issue that i discover yet. but i am having Major connections issues that for sure
My Home Setup:
1- Modem
1- Router
1- Gigabit 8 Port switch
10- Computers in total ( wired and wireless )
2 -A gaming console
4- amazon echo
1- Google home mini
4_ wyze camera
1- Amazon Clock
1- Wifi light
5- wifi adapters for smart home
1- Amazon fire TV
3- network printer different model
5- tablets
2- phones
and a few other electronics that require internet
Possible addons:
1- 4GB switch for more wired internet
Few more other smart home devices once they go on sales
I believe between my wired and wifi setup i am breaking the camelback and this router is not able to support my setup period.
I looked around and so much been out there between mash network and expensive solutions but i am not sure which will be the best for me
Here are some examples of Routers I will researching

These are some but I am open to suggestion and I am open to even try to fix the current FREE router I have if that is a possibility ( save me money )
Please advise
